If you've ever set a podcast goal like "I want to grow this year" and then hit March feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and behind… friend, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm walking you through how to set SMART podcast goals that actually last without burning out or spiraling when real life gets busy.

We'll break down what SMART goals really look like for podcasters (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound), plus why most goals fail in the first place.

I'm also giving you real examples you can steal and a simple 3-step process to choose one goal for the next 30 days and follow through with peace.

Because life's too short for boring podcasts — and for goals that don't stick.

Key Takeaways

• Vague goals create vague results (and vague guilt).

• Goals fail when they depend on algorithms instead of actions you can control.

• SMART goals keep your podcast consistent even when motivation is gone.

• Your goals must match your season, capacity, and mission.

• Diligence beats hustle every time — and peace matters.

• One clear goal for 30 days can create more momentum than an unrealistic yearly plan.
